The Edge Transportation Exchange solution […]
Interoperability key to reviving connected vehicle deployment – WSP
The global consultancy WSP has written a new paper explaining why interoperability of V2X connected vehicle technology is vital to revolutionise traveller safety. Lead consultant Chris Toth says there is renewed momentum for the implementation of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) connected vehicle (CV) technology. But, if that is going to happen, it will be critical to learn […]
US DoT issues V2X deployment roadmap
The US DoT has released a national deployment plan for the further implementation of V2X technology in the hopes of improving road safety. V2X (vehicle-to-everything) enables vehicles talk to each other, warning when there’s a risk of collision. “V2X can prioritize emergency vehicles,” says Sarah Kaufman, the director of NYU’s Rudin Center for Transportation. “For example, a traffic […]
US “presses the reset button” on V2X technology
US safety advocates have been touting the potential of technology that allows vehicles to communicate wirelessly for years, but the USDOT is releasing a roadmap it hopes will speed up deployment of that technology – and save thousands of lives in the process, says NPR. “This is proven technology that works,” Shailen Bhatt, head of […]
V2X/C2X: US government picks up the pace for connected cars
The much-touted “cooperative intelligent transportation systems”, in which cars communicate wirelessly with each other and with the traffic infrastructure on the road, for example, are to be increasingly implemented in the USA. Advocates of greater road safety have been praising the potential of such systems for “vehicle-to-everything” communication (V2X) or “car-to-car communication” (C2X) for years. So far, […]
Audi demonstrates V2X cycling safety technology
Audi has demonstrated Connected Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X) technology showing a variety of use cases which offer the potential to reduce the likelihood of collisions between vehicles and cyclists. The technology, which uses cellular communications between a vehicle and its surroundings, including road users, traffic features, or other vehicles, such as traffic lights, crossings, road […]
